Samsung Washer damaging clothes
If your Samsung washer is damaging clothes, tearing fabric, or leaving marks during the agitation or spin cycle, inspect the drum assembly first. A damaged inner drum can develop sharp edges that catch clothing, and you can check for this by running a cloth around the drum interior. Next, inspect the inner tub for cracks, jagged edges, or other damage that could snag garments. A broken drum baffle is another likely cause, followed by a cracked or damaged agitator assembly or washplate. Also check the tub area for screws, nails, or other objects caught inside the tub, agitator, or baffles. Remove any foreign objects you find, but replace damaged components rather than continuing to run the washer. These checks address common causes of a washing machine damaging clothes and a washer tearing clothes during both wash and spin. Enter your Samsung washer model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, drum baffle, agitator, or washplate for your specific machine.

If the interior of the inner drum assembly is damaged it can tear clothing during both the agitation and spin cycles. Run a cloth along the interior of the drum to determine if the cloth catches on any sharp pieces that may be sticking out. If this happens, the drum assembly should be replaced.
